> Why isn't there a NATO base in the US where German military etc. "hang out"? The reason there is a large US presence in Germany is that Germany lost WWII. You can make all kinds of other justifications for it like "Germany invited the US", but it all comes back to the Allies created the current German government, and all of them had troops continuously stationed in Germany from WWII until well after the cold war ended. France and the UK have withdrawn most of theirs, the US is the one that still has a sizable presence and the reason is that Germany is afraid of Russia and wants them to stay.
